lifting belts

Lifting belts are supportive accessories worn during weight training to enhance stability and reduce the risk of injury, particularly to the lower back. They are typically made of sturdy materials like leather or nylon and wrap around the waist, providing extra support to the core and spine. When lifting heavy weights, the belt helps maintain proper posture and alignment, allowing for safer and more effective lifting. While not essential for all lifters, they can be beneficial for those performing heavy lifts like squats or deadlifts, especially when training at high intensities.
